New research

My current work is focused on digitalization and structural change in the economy. My recent report on "Digitalization and the economy," is available for download now. I am now working on a book that examines what digitalization may imply for the modern welfare state in terms of challenges for financing welfare and the functioning of the labor market.

I have more than 15 years of experience from senior management positions in policy institutions: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and the Riksbank. I have also been seconded to the Prime Minister's Office as secretary in the Commission for the the Future of Sweden. I am now on a leave of absence from the Ministry of Finance. Previously I have been chief economist at the Ministry of Industry and held several senior positions at the Riksbank (the Swedish Central Bank) and the ECB (European Central bank). I have a PhD in Economics from Stockholm University and an MSc/BSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the London School of Economics.
